Wow, these things keep getting better! Are the firmware revisions now different, since the hardware must be? I lost track since I left for the summer; what's the last firmware revision to work with the old RED 1st versions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnieg Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 When I've raised some funds I would like to get one of these to resurrect the floppy-less STE I have in the cellar. Is it possible to use an a longer floppy drive lead and is a case available as I would like to be able to use it on other systems - initially a PC but possibly also Amstrad CPC?

Barnie I have done exactly that... Cased so that I can make cables for other systems (I have only made the ST cable so far!). Both my STe's have been modded with a switch to toggle Drive A between internal and external drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wongck Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 how do I update the firmware on the one I bought earlier this year? Easy. Just format a Fat32 SD and place the firmware file on to it. Place SD in to the device. Power up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place SD in to the device. Power up. I figured it was something simple like that thanks, I have yet to play with the two units I bought but I have high plans for them both, especially now with Amiga support. cheers!

They've had Amiga read support for quite a while now. If your board isn't one of the latest Rev C ones, Amiga writes won't be supported.

They've had Amiga read support for quite a while now. If your board isn't one of the latest Rev C ones, Amiga writes won't be supported. umm ok. I did buy the 2nd one over the summer this year, july or august 2010 I think. not sure about the first one I bought. I guess I misunderstood the quote from "orpheuswaking " recently in this thread proclaiming his appreciation at amiga support. if I do not have Revision C hardware, can I send mine back to be upgraded? I would feel slightly disappointed if my only recourse was to buy new hardware... yet again. although I guess I have to evaluate how much I'd need Amiga write support, assuming it reads no problem, I could save to floppy still I suppose. I really need to find the time to break it all out and play with it. Hoping to do so over christmas break. what I really wish for is Mac Plus/SE support... is there any chance of that being implemented and will that also be a hardware revision if so?

wongck Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There is no need to sent it back. The instructions to update the hardware are on the release notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don't feel so bad - I also haven't had time to even power mine up yet Same here, I have had mine for months and not connected or powered it up; too many other things to do first and after three months, I have only just installed my two Bernd Thomas 14MB low-profile RAM boards in my two Falcons.

wongck Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Somethings can wait.... Somethings can't.... My CTPCI arrived and it in within next 2 days... would be faster if I had read the installation instructions earlier... was missing some parts. LOL... I am waiting for the video card now... so what's was the hurry for me to install it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General result: Faster write data throughput. - New MFM/DD write support bitrate added. -> 300kbits/s (256/512/1024 bytes sectors). - FM write support added. -> 128bytes sector SD/FM write support added. -> 256bytes sector SD/FM write support added. -> 512bytes sector SD/FM write support added. -> 1024bytes sector SD/FM write support added. -> SD/FM write support bitrate : 250kbits/s, 300kbits/s & 500kbits/s - E-mu write support added (E-mu emulator, E-mu emulator II,...) Note : Need the Rev C SD HxC Floppy Emulator hardware! -> 3584bytes sector FM E-emu write support added. -> E-mu write support bitrate : 312kbits/s A big Thanks to Kris VC / esynthesist (http://www.emxp.net/) for all tests done on this firwmare with the E-mu Emulator & E-mu Emulator II. Without this great help, releasing this new feature wouldn't be possible. - Two floppy drive emulation improvement/bug corrected -> The two virtual floppy disk drive can have different bitrate now. (example : an 1.44MB floppy disk in the first disk drive and a 720KB in the second disk drive.) - SDCard HxC Floppy emulator settings (sound/blacklight...) are now stored into the eeprom and used at power up.
